A family on an e-bike outing with Yosemite E-biking

Private E-Bike Adventures for Holidays

& Special Occasions Near Yosemite

Looking for a Unique Way to Celebrate Near Yosemite?

Skip the usual dinner reservation or another gift that ends up in a closet. Give them an experience they’ll actually remember.

Celebrate a birthday, anniversary, holiday, romantic getaway, family milestone, or special occasion with a private e-bike adventure through the Sierra Foothills near Yosemite.

Based in Mariposa, California, Yosemite E-Biking creates private rides for couples, families, wedding parties, and groups looking for something a little more adventurous than the typical Yosemite outing. Choose a half-day or full-day ride, or turn your celebration into a full Sierra experience by combining e-biking with gold panning, rock climbing, or other local adventures.

It’s a chance to get outside, explore somewhere beautiful, and celebrate together—without spending the day doing the same thing everyone else is doing.

Give them a day they'll remember

Some occasions deserve more than another present.

A private e-bike tour gives you time outside together, with quiet backroads, Sierra Foothills scenery, Gold Country history, and a route built around your group.

No serious cycling experience is necessary. Pedal-assist e-bikes take much of the work out of the hills, so the day can be about exploring rather than keeping up.

Valentine’s Day & romantic getaways

Trade the crowded restaurant for a private ride through the foothills.

A Valentine's Day e-bike adventure can be as relaxed or active as you want, with scenic stops, photos, and plenty of time together along the way.

It also works beyond February. Couples visiting the Yosemite area can book private rides for:

  • Anniversaries

  • Proposals

  • Honeymoons

  • Birthdays

  • Weekend getaways

  • “Just because” trips

Birthdays

A birthday doesn't have to mean sitting around a table.

Bring a partner, family, or group of friends and spend a few hours exploring Mariposa County by e-bike. Routes can be adapted to the group, and a half-day adventure leaves plenty of time for dinner or another activity afterward.

For a bigger day, choose a full-day ride or add gold panning or rock climbing.

Mother’s Day & Father’s Day

Experiences make particularly good gifts when someone already has enough stuff.

A private family e-bike ride gives everyone something to do together while pedal assist helps accommodate different fitness levels.

For parents who enjoy the outdoors but aren't regular cyclists, that can make an e-bike adventure much more approachable than a traditional bike tour.

Christmas & holiday gifts

You don't have to know exactly when someone wants to ride to give them an adventure.

A Yosemite E-Biking gift can become part of a future Yosemite or Mariposa trip rather than something that needs to happen during the holiday itself.

Family celebrations & reunions

E-bikes are especially useful when a group includes people with different cycling backgrounds.

Each rider can adjust the amount of motor assistance they're using, making it easier for families to stay together instead of turning the ride into a race.

Private outings can work for:

  • Family reunions

  • Graduations

  • Retirement celebrations

  • Holiday weekends

  • Friend getaways

  • Wedding weekends

  • Bachelor and bachelorette groups

  • Milestone birthdays

Make a bigger day of it

E-Biking + Gold Panning

Ride through California Gold Country and then try gold panning.

It's an especially good combination for families, birthdays, and visitors who want an experience connected to Mariposa's history.

E-Biking + Rock Climbing

Pair the ride with a guided climbing experience for a more adventurous celebration.

This can work well for couples, families, or groups looking for a day that's considerably different from a conventional Yosemite-area activity.

Full-Day Private Adventure

Have the whole day available?

A full-day tour creates more room for mileage, scenic stops, local history, food, and exploring farther into the Sierra Foothills.

You don't need to be a cyclist

First-time e-bike riders are welcome.

Every tour begins with an introduction to the bikes, controls, braking, and pedal assistance. From there, the route and pace can be adjusted around the people riding that day.

That means the experienced cyclist in the family can have fun without making everyone else suffer.

A different side of the Yosemite area

Yosemite E-Biking is based in Mariposa, the Highway 140 gateway to Yosemite.

Tours explore the Sierra Foothills and California Gold Country outside Yosemite National Park, giving visitors a way to experience quiet roads, historic areas, ranch country, and landscapes they might otherwise drive straight past.

Tours meet next to the Mariposa Visitor Center at 5158 Highway 140 in Mariposa.
